MAISON BLANCIIE GREATEST STORE SOUTH
PAST AND PRESENT
With comb on end and claws sharpened, a
flock of Gamecocks from the land of yellow
jessamine parades in Tulane Stadium today
for the second time in football history, bent
on avenging a defeat absorbed almost two
decades ago by their predecessors.
It was in 1932 that another flock emerged
from the roost in Columbia to battle Tulane's
Green Wave coached by Ted Cox, then in his
initial year wearing the brogans of Bernie
Bierman. What was to become the Sugar Bowl
team of 1934 ran rampant that afternoon-in
the middle of the field.
But when that Gamecock was backed into
the shadows of his own goal, he reared to
rooster-like proportions. Had it not been for a
34 yard toe-dance through the middle of the
line in the first five minutes of play by "Little
Preacher" Roberts, the Wave record would
have been vastly altered from the six victories,
two defeats and a tie it now shows for that
season.
All of which should prove that a South
Carolina football team is imbued with the
spirit of the state motto of "dum spiro, spero"
(while I breathe, I hope). ·
Genial Rex Enright, graduate of the Knute
Rockne method of football warfare, holds firm
grip upon the Gamecock reins, a clutch that
dates back to 1938. It has been continuous ever
since with the exception of three seasons during
the war when the U. S. Naval Air Corps took
first claim on Enright's services.
The Enright mode of travel today will be
via the "T" formation, the third such offense
this season that a likewise "T" formation
minded Green Wave has faced. Bo Hagan, Ed
Paskey and Pat Vella are likely masterminds
in the quarterback post, matching their voodoo
with that of Tulane's Joe Ernst, Jim Keeton
and Bill Bonar.
But Gamecock potency may stem from an­other
point-the halfback post and in the form
of Bishop Strickland, appropriately nicknamed
the Bouncing Bishop. The sophomore bounded
over nine S.C. foes for a total of 510 yards on
94 attempts last year, briefly 5.4 yards per
try.
His terrific freshman play · may be surpassed
this season, if such is possible, and the stumpy
190 pounder should be one of the outstanding
performers on Tulane turf today.
Among the other outstanding Gamecocks
you may wish to watch are Claude "Red"
Harrison, cohort of the Bouncing Bishop, and
Roger "Red" Wilson, terminal de luxe. For the
Greenies, it would be impossible to single out
any one of them with a covey of scatbacks like
Jimmy Glisson, Bobby Jones, and power-men
like Eddie Price, Cliff Van Meter and Bill
Svoboda in the backfield .... Dan Rogas, Dick
Sheffield, George Maddox, Homer Dedeaux
and the rest of the stalwarts in the line.

IT'S ANOTHER DAY
The college of commerce and business ad­ministration
has its "Dollar Day", law it's
"Derby Day" and engineering it's "Engineer's
Day." It was inevitable that Tulane's future
medicos should join the parade.
Today, in the West Side stands, you may see
two groups, one clad in white dissecting smoc~s
and the other in tan ward coats. These are
members of Tulane's medical school student
body, freshmen and sophomore in white, juniors
and seniors in tan.
What is now Tulane grew from the original
Medical College of Louisiana, founded in 1834
by seven young men to provide trained per­sonnel
for the fight against cholera and yellow
fever in New Orleans. The medical school, with
its freshmen and sophombre students attending
classes on the uptown camptfs
